HIV Resources

The health and protection of populations are a public health concern; therefore, attention has been directed to the prevalence of intimate partner violence—especially among people living with HIV/AIDS.

According to the Office of Women’s Health of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA):
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health issue that affects millions of individuals and families in the United States. [The] Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [state] that approximately one in four women and one in seven men have experienced severe physical violence by an intimate partner at some point in their lifetimes. IPV can have complex and severe impacts on the physical and mental well-being of survivors—as well as on children, friends, extended family, and even employers. IPV [also] disproportionately affects specific populations, including many of those served by HRSA’s programs such as pregnant women, adolescents, racial/ethnic minorities, people living with HIV/AIDS, LGBTQ individuals, individuals living with disabilities, individuals with substance use disorders, and individuals living in rural areas [emphasis added]. (Health Resources and Services Administration, Office of Women’s Health, The HRSA Strategy to Address Intimate Partner Violence. Rockville, Maryland: 2017)
​To that end, Community Health and Wellness Center is committed to help address IPV as a critical social determinate of health through collaborative and evidenced-based efforts, which are supported by the initiatives of the Family Violence Prevention Fund and the HRSA’s Office of Women’s Health. ​
